Abstract

Some of the hemiplegic patients cannot fully dorsiflex their ankle joints in the swing phase during gait. The EMG-controlled electrical stimulation system was developed to improve their gait, and it gave the stimulation whose intensity was corresponding to the EMG activity. The same pair of electrode was used for recording EMG and output the electrical stimulation.
